Word Document Conversion Failing on 3.0 beta.

[jashkenas]

Hey folks.

I tried using the latest 3.0 beta, and it works beautifully for all
document formats except for Microsoft Word docs, where I'm getting
this error every time:

Exception in thread "main"

I rolled back to the 2.0 series, so it's not an immediate problem for
me, but I just thought you might want the notification. This is on
Ubuntu on EC2, with the latest Openoffice package installed.

Must be something to do with your OOo installation. Have you tried on
a different machine?

Kind regards

Thanks, Mirko.

When I roll back to a 2.X installation of JODConverter, on the same
machine (without even restarting the OpenOffice process), everything
works fine with Word docs.

Yes I understand that, but you're the first person reporting that no
Word docs can be converted with JODConverter 3.0, so there must be
something specific to your case. If you could try on another machine
we'd know if the problem has to do with the OOo installation.

BTW how can you roll back to 2.x "without even restarting the
OpenOffice process"? JODConverter 3.0 will start and stop its own OOo
process, how did you manage to use the same process for both versions?

Kind regards

Mirko
